Buttons and loops at the back added at additional cost at my request. The dress was altered for fit and length. "Snap loops" for the bra straps were also added so that a bra could be comfortably worn with the dress.

The dress was professionally cleaned using a dry cleaner recommended by McCaffrey's specializing in cleaning silk garments. The dress comes with a white McCaffrey breathable cloth bag (as shown in the picture) in which it is presently stored and needs to be stored long-term.
